I am assuming you dont have a monitor, we never did. But I know every inch of that planter.

If you want to check plant population or seed spacing to make sure it is working.

Set the depth adjustment as shallow as possible. You can basically make it plant on top of the ground. It will make a little slot, but not much.

Then, with maybe a pint or so of seed in the hopper, drive over a really hard spot of bare ground. Like out in the barn lot or somewhere.

Drive for 50 or 75 feet, drive at an even, slow speed. The corn will be laying right on the top of the ground. You can measure off ten feet, then take an average. Or measure off 1/1000 of an acre. 13.8 feet for 38" rows, etc. Most farm reference books will give you the distance for whatever row spacing.

So 19 kernals in 13.8 feet equals 19,000 plant population.

If there is no corn under one unit, you got a problem.

Good luck, Gene
